There are some passages in Diodorus Siculus’ The Library of History that state that Zeus traveled the entire world that was inhabited:
“…Zeus overcame him in battle, and on gaining supreme power visited all the inhabited world, conferring benefactions upon the race of men.” Diodorus Siculus, The Library of History, Volume 2, page 285.
Another passage states that Hermes helped hide Dionysus-Osiris in ancient Nysa that was between Egypt and Phoenicia. Israel is the closest to fit that description and it has mountains, too.
“Thereupon Zeus, taking up the child, handed it over to the care of Hermes, and ordered him to take it to the cave in Nysa, which lay between Phoenicia and the Nile, where he should deliver it to the nymphs that they should rear it and with great solitude bestow upon it the best of care. Consequently, since Dionysus was reared in Nysa, he received the name he bears from Zeus and Nysa.” Diodorus Siculus, The Library of History, Volume 2, page 345.
Look at the world map to see what is between Phoenica (Tyre and Syria) and the Nile:
The Iron Age kingdom of Israeland kingdom of Judah (8th century BCE)
Territory held by Israel: before the Six-Day War after the war The Sinai Peninsula was returned toEgypt in 1982.
Some think ancient Nysa was in Galilee (where Jesus Christ was from) and this would not surprise me at all.
